Eleven singers were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope
suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest.
Ten were tenors, one was a baritone.
As a group, they decided that one of the party should let go.
If not, the rope would break and everyone would perish.
For a few agonizing moments, no one volunteered.
Finally, the baritone gave a truly touching speech saying he would
sacrifice himself to save the lives of the others.
